McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year

That’s what he wants. Doesn’t mean he will get it his way. He also said this in the morning. Before all the other news came.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

They are acting as if they have the upper hand . They don’t !’

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

it should pass by the 8th or by the 22nd of this month now that tax reform is done.

idk what issues this fool is talking about, daca is now at the forefront of the debate.

other time sensitive issues such as chip, csr, military spending, border sec/wall, etc can all be addressed with daca in the year end spending/omnibus bill.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Actually, when March comes, they will find some other way to obstruct it. But even if it is brought to the floor in March, it will fail since Dems may have no leverage. Repubes will ask for all of their demands to be met in exchanges for throwing us a small bone like the Bridge Act.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

No pushing it back. At least 70 Republicans want this fixed by this December. Get this shit done lazy ass. You have had YEARS to do it the right way. If they push this back beyond this December, they will want mote border security concessions. At that point, what leverage will Democrats have?

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

He is full of shit . I listened to this whole interview and when they asked about their agenda for 2018, he didn’t even mention DACA. He actually was talking about entitle reform and infrastructure. Until the reporters called him out on it did he claim he hopes they can get it done by March . Fuck him! He actually said with a straight face that Democrats were to blame for not going to that meeting with trump.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

If Dems do not stand their ground, we are screwed.

The GOP rushed through the damn tax bill, but it wants to take its sweet time on DACA.

No more pushing back the issue. Shut the government down.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Exactly. The GOP leadership plan is to try to make Dems lose leverage on this issue. Then they pass the harshest and restrictive bill even worse than the bridge act with a ton of enforcement at the last minute.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

If DA is not coupled with omnibus, then it will be DA + Raise

It might as well crash and burn

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Democrats have to hold their stance on shutting down the government over the fundiing bill on dec 8, no mater what any rebublican says and I promise you we will have da passed. If da is pushed to March what ever we get if anything will be bad.

Ianus is the king of finding bad articles for us

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Ianus has no desire to see us DACAs suceed, he has already "got his".

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Funny thing is he used to be the complete opposite back in the day .

Don’t worry I’ll counter him with my next thread . Lol

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

It’s the daily caller.. super conservative. I’m sure they fluffed it up to make it seem worse than it is..

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

I agree. The way of obstructing by the repubes have been to stall on consensus while appearing to legislate. Once after August recess, it is all politics! This is the fifth Congressional cycle in which the same game is played.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

The difference is DACA. There has never been a situation like this in the past. I understand your skepticism due to what happened in 2010 etc, but you can’t honestly tell me the circumstances are not totally different now.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

McCarthy says, yeah the House Majority Leader and the golden child of the Freedom Caucus doesn't want something.

Someone give that man a pacifier.

Basically this. DACA brought us out of the shadows to being functional members of society. Back in 2010 doing nothing just meant the status quo, right now doing nothing equals 800k people losing their work authorization, huge tax revenue losses, and a whole lot of companies losing their employees.

Trump fucked up really bad by cancelling the program.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Dems shouldn't trust the GOP, but this is from a similar article by The Hill:

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Actually, after reading through immigration programs and history, the situation is not technically unique. Presidents have been known to use their broad authority to grant discretion to individuals based on the unique circumstances at the time. Also, following Presidents have also been known to take away the very same discretion authorized if they were from a different party.

Still, on Congress, I am referencing back all the way to 2007 (which includes 2010). The Republican conference (both Senate and House) has used the same stalling tactics for the last 10 years on ALL pieces of legislation (from CIR to Dream Act) which tentatively authorizes the US government to forgive past unlawful presence. The same message has been given over the years if you look at what lawmakers have mentioned.

Imo, the biggest cruelty is to give a false hope when the evidence over many years have pointed in the opposite direction.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

We have heard this for years from both parties. No, Democrats will have to attach it to any funding stat.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Can you give me an example of such status being taken away from almost a million people?

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

They are ending TPS. It is estimated that US will lose $164 billion in GDP over a decade due to the loss of legal TPS workers, but that is not stopping anyone from ending their status. DACA and TPS are different things, but you get the point.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

pretty sure this country will deal with TPS, they gave them 18-24 months.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Well, if that's the argument than they dealt with DACA as well. They gave 6 months to 2 years for people to prepare to leave.

The point is Repubes don't care at all about economic impact or sympathy when it comes to immigration topics in general.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

they will deal with DACA this month.

the next Congress will deal with TPS 18-24 months from now.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Only thing we can do is remain positive or pack our shit.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

I am actually positive that this month will yield something for us (or at least hoping). The point I was making is that Repubes don't care about our economic contributions, sympathy toward our case, or the fact that we are out of the shadows already. None of that matters to them. Dems (especially Durbin) and maybe me one or two Republicans want to help us, and that is the only reason we have a fighting chance.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

McCarthy is unlikely to be right

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Oh yea they don’t give a fuck. They never have.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Unless McCarthy is about to legally redefine the year he can eat a dick.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Yeah, as fond as I am of some Republicans like Curbelo, I do not trust the likes of Cornyn, Rubio, or McConnell. Democrats have the leverage; they should exploit it this year. F*ck it.

Re: McCarthy Says DACA Fix Unlikely Before End Of The Year
 

Pretty much. If it fails might as well go scorched Earth and keep the government shut down until a democratic president is sworn in. Belgium did fine without a central government for 541 days. Any of us living in the first world states will be fine as well, NY and CA aren't collapsing without the feds, but shitholes like Iowa and Kansas will have to resort to cannibalism.
